General

  • The notes are designed for investors who seek a return of twice the appreciation of a diversified basket of Asian indices up to a maximum total return on the notes of 15.00% at maturity. Investors should be willing to forgo interest and dividend payments and, if the Basket declines by more than 10%, be willing to lose some or all of their principal.
  • Senior unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. maturing December 5, 2007.
  • Minimum denominations of $50,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
  • The notes priced on November 10, 2006 and are expected to settle on or about November 15, 2006.

Key Terms

Basket:

The notes are linked to a basket consisting of the AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index (“HKX”), the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index (“XINOI”), the Korea Stock Price Index 200 (“KOSPI2”), the MSCI Taiwan Index (“TWY”) and the MSCI Singapore Index (“SGY”) (each a “Basket Index” and together the “Basket Indices”).

Index Weightings:

The AMEX Hong Kong Weighting is 18.00%, the FTSE/Xinhua Weighting is 17.40%, the KOSPI Weighting is 32.10%, the MSCI Taiwan Weighting is 23.40% and the MSCI Singapore Weighting is 9.10% (each an “Index Weighting” and, collectively, the “Index Weightings”).

Upside Leverage Factor:

2

Payment at Maturity:

If the Ending Basket Level is greater than the Starting Basket Level, you will receive a cash payment that provides you with a return per $1,000 principal amount note equal to the Basket Return multiplied by two, subject to a Maximum Total Return on the notes of 15.00%. For example, if the Basket Return is more than 7.50%, you will receive the Maximum Total Return on the notes of 15.00%, which entitles you to the maximum payment of $1,150 at maturity for every $1,000 principal amount note that you hold. Accordingly, if the Basket Return is positive, your payment per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows, subject to the Maximum Total Return:

 

$1,000 + [$1,000 x (Basket Return x 2)]

 

Your principal is protected against up to a 10% decline in the Basket at maturity. If the Ending Basket Level declines from the Starting Basket Level by up to 10%, you will receive the principal amount of your notes at maturity.

If the Ending Basket Level declines from the Starting Basket Level by more than 10%, you will lose 1.1111% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Basket declines beyond 10% and your final payment per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:

 

$1,000 + [$1,000 x (Basket Return + 10%) x 1.1111]

 

You will lose some or all of your investment at maturity if the Ending Basket Level declines from the Starting Basket Level by more than 10%.

Buffer Amount:

10%

Downside Leverage Factor:

1.1111

Basket Return:

The performance of the Basket from the Starting Basket Level to the Ending Basket Level, calculated as follows:

Ending Basket Level – Starting Basket Level
Starting Basket Level

Starting Basket Level:

Set equal to 100 on the pricing date, which was November 10, 2006.

Ending Basket Level:

The arithmetic average of the Basket Closing Levels on the five Averaging Dates.

Basket Closing Level:

For each of the Averaging Dates, the Basket Closing Level will be calculated as follows:

 

100 x [1 + ((AMEX Hong Kong Return * AMEX Hong Kong Weighting) + (FTSE/Xinhua Return * FTSE/Xinhua Weighting) + (KOSPI Return * KOSPI Weighting) + (MSCI Taiwan Return * MSCI Taiwan Weighting) + (MSCI Singapore Return * MSCI Singapore Weighting)]

 

The returns set forth in the formula above reflect the performance of each Basket Index, expressed as a percentage, from the closing level on the pricing date to the closing level on the relevant Averaging Date.

Averaging Dates:

November 26, 2007, November 27, 2007, November 28, 2007, November 29, 2007 and November 30, 2007

Maturity Date:

December 5, 2007

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity

The following examples illustrate how the total returns set forth in the table and graph above are calculated.

Example 1: The level of the Basket increases from a Starting Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 105. Because the Ending Basket Level of 105 is greater than the Starting Basket Level of 100 and the Basket Return of 5% multiplied by 2 does not exceed the Maximum Total Return of 15.00%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,100 per $1,000 principal amount note calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 x (5% x 2)] = $1,100

Example 2: The level of the Basket decreases from a Starting Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 90. Because the Ending Basket Level of 90 is less than the Starting Basket Level of 100 by not more than the Buffer Amount of 10%, the investor will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Example 3: The level of the Basket increases from a Starting Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 110. Because the Basket Return of 10% multiplied by 2 exceeds the Maximum Total Return of 15.00%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,150 per $1,000 principal amount note, the maximum payment on the notes.

Example 4: The level of the Basket decreases from a Starting Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 80. Because the Ending Basket Level of 80 is less than the Starting Basket Level of 100 by more than the Buffer Amount of 10%, the Basket Return is negative and the investor will receive a payment at maturity of $888.89 per $1,000 principal amount note calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 x (-20% + 10%) x 1.1111] = $888.89

Selected Purchase Considerations

  • APPRECIATION POTENTIAL — The notes provide the opportunity to enhance equity returns by multiplying a positive Basket Return by two, up to the Maximum Total Return on the notes of 15.00%, or $1,150 for every $1,000 principal amount note. Because the notes are our senior obligations, payment of any amount at maturity is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.
  • LIMITED PROTECTION AGAINST LOSS — Payment at maturity of the principal amount of the notes is protected against a decline in the Ending Basket Level, as compared to the Starting Basket Level, of up to 10%. If the Ending Basket Level declines by more than 10%, for every 1% decline of the Basket beyond 10%, you will lose an amount equal to 1.1111% of the principal amount of your notes.
  • DIVERSIFICATION AMONG THE BASKET INDICES — The return on the notes is linked to a basket consisting of the AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index, the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index, the Korea Stock Price 200 Index, the MSCI Taiwan Index and the MSCI Singapore Index. The AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index is based on the capitalization of 30 stocks actively traded on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Ltd. and is designed to represent a substantial segment of the Hong Kong stock market. The FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index is a stock index calculated and published by FTSE/Xinhua Index Limited, and is designed to represent the performance of the mainland Chinese market that is available to international investors. It is currently based on the largest and the most liquid Chinese stocks listed and trading on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Ltd. The Korea Stock Price Index 200 is a capitalization-weighted index of 200 Korean blue-chip stocks which make up a large majority of the total market value of the Korea Stock Exchange (“KSE”). The MSCI Taiwan Index, which is calculated by Morgan Stanley Capital International Inc. (“MSCI”), is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index of securities listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. The MSCI Singapore Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is calculated by MSCI and designed to measure equity market performance in Singapore. For additional information about each Basket Index, see the information set forth under “The AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index,” “The FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index,” “The Korea Stock Price Index 200,” “The MSCI Taiwan Index” and “The MSCI Singapore Index” in the accompanying product supplement no. 31-II.
  • CAPITAL GAINS TAX TREATMENT You should review carefully the section entitled "Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the accompanying product supplement no. 31-II. Subject to the limitations described therein, and based on certain factual representations received from us, in the opinion of our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell, it is reasonable to treat your purchase and ownership of the notes as an “open transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming this characterization is respected, your gain or loss on the notes should be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if you hold the notes for more than a year, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of notes at the issue price. However, the

 PS-2
    Internal Revenue Service or a court may not respect this characterization of the notes, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the notes could be significantly and adversely affected. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the treatment of the notes, including possible alternative characterizations.

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the notes involves significant risks. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Basket, the Basket Indices or any of the component stocks of the Basket Indices. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement no. 31-II dated May 5, 2006.

  • YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS — The notes do not guarantee any return of principal. The return on the notes at maturity is linked to the performance of the Basket and will depend on whether, and the extent to which, the Basket Return is positive or negative. Your investment will be exposed on a leveraged basis to any decline in the Ending Basket Level beyond the 10% buffer as compared to the Starting Basket Level.
  • YOUR MAXIMUM GAIN ON THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM TOTAL RETURN — If the Ending Basket Level is greater than the Starting Basket Level, for each $1,000 principal amount note, you will receive at maturity $1,000 plus an additional amount that will not exceed the Maximum Total Return on the notes of 15.00%, regardless of the appreciation in the Basket, which may be significant.
  • CERTAIN BUILT-IN COSTS ARE LIKELY TO ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES PRIOR TO MATURITY — While the payment at maturity described in this pricing supplement is based on the full principal amount of your notes, the original issue price of the notes includes the agent’s commission and the cost of hedging our obligations under the notes through one or more of our affiliates. As a result, the price, if any, at which JPMSI will be willing to purchase notes from you in secondary market transactions will likely be lower than the original issue price, and any sale prior to the maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you. The notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your notes to maturity.
  • NO INTEREST OR DIVIDEND PAYMENTS OR VOTING RIGHTS — As a holder of the notes, you will not receive interest payments, and you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of securities composing any of the Basket Indices would have.
  • NO DIRECT EXPOSURE TO FLUCTUATIONS IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES — The value of your notes will not be adjusted for exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the currencies upon which the stocks underlying each Basket Index are based, although any currency fluctuations could affect the performance of the Basket. Therefore, if the applicable currencies appreciate or depreciate relative to the U.S. dollar over the term of the notes, you will not receive any additional payment or incur any reduction in your payment at maturity.
  • LACK OF LIQUIDITY — The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. JPMSI intends to offer to purchase the notes in the secondary market but is not required to do so. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the notes easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which JPMSI is willing to buy the notes.
  • POTENTIAL CONFLICTS — We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the notes, including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the notes. In performing these duties, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes.
  • MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL IMPACT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES In addition to the level of the Basket on any day, the value of the notes will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including:
    • the expected volatility of the Basket Indices;
    • the time to maturity of the notes;
    • the dividend rate on the common stocks underlying the Basket Indices;
    • interest and yield rates in the market generally;
    • a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events;
    • the exchange rate and volatility of the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar, the Hong Kong dollar, the Chinese yuan, the Korean won, the new Taiwan dollar and the Singapore dollar; and
    • our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.
